Apps restart when git runs, even though apps set not to auto deploy

Running version: 5.5.2

I have git sync enabled, TwoWay, using the external client.

This works well to keep the main server up to date, but I find that my apps often restart when there is a git sync, even when the app files are not updated, and the app has the Auto Deploy disabled. The apps restart even if there are no changes to pull from git.

Here are some screenshots showing the app details, as well as the restart times related to the git pull. There are a number of other git commands at the same time, so possibly it's one of those, but I just used the git pull as the reference event to correlate times. Dates are in UK format.

The git sync is set to every 10 mins, but the restart of the apps doesn't happen that often - sometimes every 25 mins, sometimes there is an hour between restarts.

Is there a way to disable the app restart when git runs? Or is there a way to disable the automatic git sync and then I can trigger it manually at a time that the server is unused?
